assembly and processing steps for TIP-ON BLUMOTION

What are the essential assembly and processing steps for the optimal opening and closing of TIP-ON BLUMOTION?

Blum’s TIP-ON BLUMOTIONmotion technology combines two functions for drawers: easy, convenient opening and silent, effortless closing. This mechanical solution from Blum provides exceptional convenience, particularly for handle-less furniture in the kitchen and elsewhere in the home, for example bedrooms. With this blog article, we aim to show you how to achieve optimal function and what you need to be aware of during assembly.

Furniture construction

Make sure you adopt a precise working method right from the start when manufacturing the cabinet and drawer. It is essential that you comply with the measurement and angle accuracy specified. This way, you can adjust the front gap to the required 2.5 mm and achieve optimal trigger behaviour.

Ensuring accuracy in the depth position of both cabinet profiles is also important during assembly.

Avoid using bumpers in order to ensure optimal trigger behaviour.

The cabinet bottom may not bend upwards, therefore do not use a fifth plinth leg.

Manufacture and adjustment of fittings

The correct choice of TIP-ON BLUMOTION unit depends on the nominal length and total load and is the basic prerequisite for optimum functionality. You can identify the respective load configuration from the marked surface on the underside of the unit: for short nominal lengths of up to 300 mm, use S0 and S1; for longer nominal lengths from 350 mm, use L1, L3 and L5.

When subsequently assembling the TIP-ON BLUMOTION unit, you should hear a loud click. This is how you can be sure that the components are fully engaged and firmly secured

Use a synchronisation linkage to ensure the best possible trigger range. The trigger range can be optimised for comparatively large fronts – to do so, simply increase the front gap.

Operation

In order to provide optimal protection for the synchronisation adapter, we recommend opening the cabinet profiles with attached synchronisation at the same time.

It is also important that you use sufficient force when closing TIP-ON BLUMOTION as this ensures that the TIP-ON unit is properly pre-tensioned.

Hi, we have the tip-on blumotion system on our kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately one of the draws will not stay closed and springs open. It appears that the system is out of sync. I have removed the draw and compared the system to that on a draw which is working. I cannot see any differences, what am I missing?

Hello and thank you for your comment. We are sorry you are experiencing some difficulty with our product.
To troubleshoot this problem we recommend removing the drawer and the synchronisation linkage (the rod which connects both sides of the cabinet profile) from the cabinet profile. Then push both cabinet profiles all the way back into the cabinet. Then trigger both of the cabinet profiles and re-assemble the synchronisation linkage. Put the drawer back on the cabinet profiles and close the unit.
If this doesn’t help, please come back to me and our customer service will contact you as soon as possible. For that we need to know in which country you live. Thank you very much.
